Yoruba is the subject that defines this degree. It is one of only two named O’Level credits and it is a required UTME paper, with no alternative offered in either place.

Around that the requirements are light. Three of your five O’Level credits are unspecified, and the remaining UTME papers are drawn from a list of eight subjects.

Education and Yoruba Admission Requirement

O’Level Subject Combination

UTME Requirement For Education and Yoruba

Below is the UTME Requirement for Education and Yoruba;

  • Five (5) SSC credit passes, including English Language and Yoruba.

UTME/JAMB Combination For Education and Yoruba

Below is the UTME/JAMB SUBJECT COMBINATION for Education and Yoruba;

  • English Language, Yoruba, and any (2) subjects chosen from History, Literature in English, French, Christian Religious, Islamic Studies, Arabic, Geography, and Physics.

JAMB Score

For any candidate to be admitted to any Department in the University of Lagos, the Candidate must score 200 and above in JAMB.

Yoruba Is the One Subject UNILAG Will Not Substitute Here

The O’Level requirement is five SSC credit passes, of which only English Language and Yoruba are named. The other three are left entirely to the candidate.

That is a genuinely light requirement by UNILAG standards, and it means a candidate with a mixed set of arts credits is not disadvantaged.

The UTME combination asks for English Language, Yoruba, and two more papers from History, Literature in English, French, Christian Religious Studies, Islamic Studies, Arabic, Geography and Physics.

Physics on that list is the unexpected entry. It sits among seven arts and humanities subjects, so a science candidate with Yoruba can still assemble a valid combination.

The JAMB score for any UNILAG department is 200 and above. With the subject rules this open, that score is where the competition for places actually happens.
